Boil eggs for about 6 minutes for a soft and jammy texture, then shock them in an ice bath.

Halve the mushrooms for even cooking.

Heat a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

Add the halved mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they soften and gain color, about 5-7 minutes, adding a pinch of kosher salt to help them release juices.

Mince garlic while the mushrooms are cooking.

Once the mushrooms are charred and juicy, add cherry tomatoes and a bit more olive oil to the skillet.

Add spinach to the skillet and stir until it wilts.

Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

Prepare bowls by adding a layer of hummus.

Slice the boiled eggs and place them on top of the hummus.

Spoon the mushroom and tomato mixture over the eggs.

Add a few Kalamata olives on top.

Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and season with kosher salt, za'atar, and Aleppo pepper to taste.
